In Search of a DAC & Monitors for the enhancement factor :)

Hi

Since my home theatre build is on hold.. waiting for my house to be built.. I am enthralled by building a great 2.0 stereo system for playback of MP3, Flac, and any other digital format i may have. I would love to have lossless music streaming

after reading this review of the teac I am most certain this is the one for me.

It's a solidly built unit available in black or silver that can accept 24/192 digital inputs via coaxial, optical, and USB inputs, and it has balanced and single-ended analog outputs. The USB interface is capable of asynchronous data transfer via its Tenor 8802 input chip; the DAC chips are dual 32-bit/192kHz Burr-Brown 1795s. The HD-H01C also has a toroidal transformer, a removable IEC power cord, and LEDs to indicate the frequency of the incoming digital signal. The UD-H01 can even be used as a headphone amplifier. Now that’s a lot of DAC for the money.

looking at the manual all i need is a good set of powered monitors and hook it up like so:

[Computer] -> [TEAC's XLR out] -> Monitors
[digital audio device ] -> [TEAC's XLR out] -> Monitors


i've been reading about the following.. i have yet to hear anything

- KRK Rokit 5
- Yamaha HS50M
- M-Audio BX5 D2


thoughts?

DAC: Behringer SRC2496 (according to some reviews - this has very slight humm, noticeable in close in dead quet spaces), Alternative: Emotiva XDA-1

Monitors: JBL LSR2325P (see my sig)
